“The New Exhibit”

In "The New Exhibit," Crusader and Rags pay a visit to the circus where Rags once performed, only to discover it now run by the ruthless animal keeper Whetstone Whiplash and his henchman, the strong man Achilles the Heel, who’ve seized control from the kind-hearted Colonel Truepenny. With Rags imprisoned in his old cage and forced to perform, Crusader dons the guise of a magician to infiltrate the circus and free his friend. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by Dan Gormley—whose dynamic art brings the spectacle to life, from the cover pencils and inks to the interior storytelling—this 1957 Four Color comic delivers a classic tale of courage and disguise in a world where the ring is no longer a stage for joy, but a cage for fear.
